Course Overview

This course explores modelling frameworks for analysing and evaluating public policy outcomes. Delegates examine cost-benefit analysis, econometric tools, and impact assessment techniques. Participants apply models to real-world policy issues. The programme equips public-sector professionals to design, assess, and improve evidence-based policy interventions.

Who Should Attend

Finance professionals seeking advanced modelling techniques for forecasting and decision support. Past delegates have included:

  • Financial Controllers
  • Data Modelling Experts
  • FP&A Managers
  • Corporate Analysts
  • Investment Officers

Course Outcomes

  • Develop multi-sheet financial models integrating P&L, balance sheet and cash flow.

Course Topics

Integrated Three‑Statement Modelling

  • Link P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow with consistent logic.
  • Build schedules for working capital, CAPEX, and financing flows.
  • Control circularities with robust iteration and convergence methods.
  • Audit calculations with reconciliation checks and diagnostics.

Rolling Forecasts and Automation

  • Develop driver‑based rolling forecasts with leading indicators.
  • Automate data refresh and validation to reduce cycle time.
  • Create modular templates for rapid scenario updates.
  • Export decision‑ready packs with dynamic visualisations.

Excel Best Practices for Financial Modelling

  • Structure models with separate inputs, calculations, and outputs to improve auditability.
  • Use consistent naming conventions, dynamic ranges, and version control to reduce errors.
  • Implement checksums and reconciliation flags to validate calculations end‑to‑end.
  • Document assumptions, sources, and logic to support review, handover, and maintenance.

Ensuring Data Integrity and Model Accuracy

  • Design robust data import and transformation steps with traceable lineage.
  • Apply validation tests (type, range, and logic checks) to catch anomalies early.
  • Minimise hard‑coding; build driver‑based links that prevent circularity and drift.
  • Create error‑handling and exception logs that surface issues for timely fixes.

Communicating Financial Insights Effectively

  • Translate model outputs into clear narratives that answer the ‘so what?’.
  • Use charts, bridges, and scenarios to highlight drivers, risks, and options.
  • Present concise recommendations with quantified impacts and sensitivities.
  • Package model files and executive packs for efficient decision meetings.

Financial Modelling Training

Financial modelling uses data to track the cash flow of your organisation, predict performance and manage all assets. This means it is an essential tool within your organisation and as such, the appropriate financial modelling training should be provided to your team.

By ensuring your team is appropriately trained in financial modelling, you can be sure that the business decisions you make based on future performance predictions are as accurate as possible, leaving little room for error. Without this essential training, predictions for your business may not be as accurate or reliable.

Whether you are a startup business or a Fortune 500 enterprise, there has never been a more important time to invest in financial modelling training for your organisation.
